4. Occupy movements: Okay, this sucks for both of us. We know all of them should have gone to Brown anyway.

5. IKEA proximity: Congrats, Yale, you got us on that one.

6. Safety: Look, Boston’s no gated Florida golf community. But we’re no New Haven, either. You know your city is bad when it’s on Pakistan’s travel advisory list. And that part of town where your mother told you never to go? That’s all of New Haven.

But in all seriousness, we’re very excited for the game. Rumor has it that Yale’s football team has a fantastic rendition of “Brotherhood of Man” from “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” ready for halftime. No word yet as to how it will impact the Bulldogs’ play at the start of the third quarter.

And indeed, there’s an allure to New Haven as well. We’ve read that you guys have just unveiled a new statue of Handsome Dan, your beloved bulldog.

At Harvard, we know how to treat our iconic statues, and we’re happy to take that tradition down south with us. Clorox, anyone?
